This skin for a Hunter's pet wolf looks amazing!

Comment by Kurasu

These are wolves, tame as a wolf, and their name turns to 'Wolf' after they have been tamed (as mentioned above: they are not exotic creatures). However, the similarities with wolves end there. Though the sound effect for the 'Ferocious Howl' attack is the same as all wolves, all other sound effects are different; they tend to give a bellowing roar when attacking rather than howling and yapping. When attacking, they use their forepaws to claw like a cat, and 'pounce' at the enemy. Even their idle animation is unique to the wolf family; rather than sniffing about or sitting and scratching, they hop in place like a happy puppy.

It does have a true run animation, just try using Eye of The Beast. But it does not have a jump animation and neither a swim animation as mentioned. There are several pets that do not have a jump animation, even old pets like the gorilla.

They get disappointingly small when tamed; see screenshot. It's only about 2/3rds the size of a tamed wolf of any other model.

These things should be tagged as Hyenas and not Wolves. :( I want one but wolves are useless.. Hyenas on the other hand.. are bad-ass!

They do get a lot smaller, but these guys look more like a wolf/dog combo. I'm afraid that if they were bigger they might look like a horse. They are cute tho, they have a little animation that reminds me of a dog when they try to get your attention.Being the ferocity tree, they are fairly tough.

Just tamed one today at level 74. It was fairly easy to find and tame. I would recommend taming a bear or something as a temp until you get to the area where these guys are. The size of the pet is pretty good, I think if it were any bigger it would look kinda goofy. I do have a blood elf, however, and they are quite a bit smaller than a Tauren or Night Elf would be. I used Aspect of the Cheetah to test it and it ran right along side me. I has kind of a 'leaping' run. Overall it's pretty neat.

Well, atleast Furious Howl will stack with BoM and Battle Shout next patch, it just won't affect the raid anymore.

Comment by Hinura

i heard this is one of the best hunter pet you can get.can anyone confirm that? and if it isent does anyone know what the best is?

Comment by karbonii

The run animation on these pets seems to be fixed as of Patch 3.1!

I love this little guy! I still get asked where I got him when I''m running around Dal. Seriously, with SV spec being THE spec for raiding, this is the closest you're going to get to an exotic. And the happy-puppy dance is adorable.

Being a Wolf, they are the best pet for PvE DPS, and with these looks, I think its the best looking wolf that is currently tameable.For this reason, tame one, and even let it rot in your stable, because my guess is they will be untameable in the future!

Its been tameable since wrath launched. I think they know by now hunters run around with it. If they were planning on fixing it, my guess is it would have already been fixed.

Of course wolves arent the best pve pet because of their dps. Blizzard normalized all pet damage forever ago. The only reason to get a specific pet is because of the buffs that they give. Cats are worthless in pve due to the fact that all they can do is stealth (also pretty crappy for pvp unless ur a nightelf and going for surprise element). Wolves on the other hand buff both their damage and yours making them the best for PVE.

Gorillas have jump animation now. Not as realistic as I want but they do.

Comment by Myre123

I really hope Blizz fixes the swimming animation :P Kind of weird to hear the 'walking on soil' sound when you're in the water.
